Meircoles.

Today was a packed tight day. After breakfast we met up in the warehouse to bag up the food we will be distributing tomorrow up in the mountains. We pack over a weeks worth of food for 150 families. Our team worked at rapido speed, so it didn't take us long and we had time to do something else, so the Nationals, with Thaymee's help decided to pull a little trick on us. Gladys, our leader, told us that we had to clear off the entire top shelf of supplies, (which is the entire length of the warehouse), dust all its contents, and restock it. Little did we know, they had "punked" us. Everybody found it quite comical. Afterwards, we decided to go out and fit in a program before lunch. We went out into the streets. A lot of mothers came out with their babies, and we even had them involved with the games. It was quite a sight. We prayed over a few sick children and those that wanted to accept Christ. After lunch we drove to Krissia's church and ministered to over 130 children. It was a great program, we had a herd rush the front for the prayer. Pastor Julio said it was a wonderful program and that kids were begging us to stay. We went to one more street program. Before we got to the kids, we prayed over an old woman who was being helped by her family members up the hill. They had just gotten back from the hospital. They wouldn't take her in and told her to return in seven days even though she had just suffered a heart-attack. All the kids we ministered to today were so smiley. It was a great day. We also attended Pastor Julio's church again tonight. Thaymee shared her testimony in Spanish and it was really moving. You could tell she was sharing straight from her heart. We also performed the Everything skit for the congregation. There was an intense prayer time afterwards as well over the youth of the church. Tonight most of chilled in the snack bar and busted on each other for over an hour. We pointed out everybody's quirky moves during the different dances and such. We all were in laughing fits. Tomorrow is our last day of ministry in which we will be riding in the back of the pickup truck up into the mountains. There is much excitement in the air. God has been so good to us this week. I am so thankful for the teams members and our leaders and the youth on our bus. Until tomorrow, goodbye!

Good morning Missions Team!
It’s been awesome to hear from you guys. It’s also been great to hear everything that's going on and the tremendous opportunities that you have had to show God's love to so many children and adults.

Thanks so much for extending and sharing the rich blessings and times that you are having with those of us at home. It is an awesome encouragement and we can't wait to hear more about how God has used you and moved you.
We are praying for you all, and all of those that you touch.
We certainly miss all of you....

El Sal Team,
It is such a blessing back home to hear of all of the wonderful things that God is doing there. When Allie mentioned the “Everything Skit”, it brought back the memory of when you performed it for us as Kingsway & how it truly touched us all about the love of Christ. If you do plan to perform it again, please, please video tape it! I would love to have a copy to share.

We continue to pray for you all, as this week has so quickly passed by. We pray that every child & adult you have ministered to will remember the message you have shared, and that they will be encouraged to know that Jesus truly loves them.

Love, Dawn

PS. Tell Nicole that Benji & I enjoyed eating her last pumpkin cookie
